I need a javafx component that has a right and left panel with a draggable bar in between so the user can resize the 2 panels. Im having a bunch of trouble finding this - it has to exist. Not sure what it would be called so not sure what to search for. It would be a border container but one you can drag the separators to resize.
There is something like it demoed here:

You are looking for a SplitPane.

I have a problem with showing multiple tables(without their own scrollbars) under one scrollbar. Is there any workaround or a good way to resolve this issue in Qt?
I've tried to do what you ask, and found this. So, here is a solution:
add QScrollArea to a form
set the property widgetResizable to true
put QWidget to scroll area
right click on widget -> Set ancestor -> [your scroll area]
add vertical layout to a widget
scroll area will collapse, epand it with a mouse
insert into the widget as many tables as you want
set vertical size policy for each table to Minimum and set minimal vertical size.
Here is how it looks:
I am using qt designer and python. I want to make a layout where a user can drag widgets to control the size while at the same time scaling properly with the window. Basically all 3d modeling programs have this function, usually it has a top left right and perspective view. The user can drag the edges to resize each view and it will maintain that aspect ratio when the main window is resized. My question is similar to this: active resizing of widgets inside mainwindow but I would like to do it in qt designer.
So what I have found is the layout horizontal/vertical splitter. However I am only able to layout two widgets horizontally, and another two widgets horizontally, then grid layout. This makes it look similar to what I want except I want the top and bottom horizontal layouts to also be re-size able.
Thanks
Edit:
I have been able to do this with putting both horizontal split views in a group box and then splitting the two group boxes, however that makes each widget independent and does not let the user grab the middle axis to control all 4 views.
You are essentially asking for a splitter than works across two axes - no such standard widget exists. So you will have to create your own.
I am trying to place a set of buttons so that they are anchored to the bottom right of the screen. My problem is that whenever I resize the screen, the buttons are not anchored to the bottom right, but stay in its current position.
I have placed two Push Buttons inside a Horizontal Layout. I then placed this layout inside a Grid Layout, which contains a Horizontal and Vertical Spacer. I have modified the Grid Layout layoutSize property to SetMaximumSize.
What am I doing incorrectly, so that I can get my buttons to be anchored to the bottom right?
You have almost everything just right here, but you probably overlooked something that is really easy to miss when you first start using Qt Designer.
Your grid layout is sitting inside your widget with a fixed size and position. It too needs to be managed by a layout. If you take a look at the Object Inspector on the top right (that contains your hierarchy) you will probably see your top level widget with a red icon. This indicates that it contains no layout. You have two options to fix this...
Have your existing grid layout placed into another main layout (like a vertical layout). You would simply right click on your top level widget in the Object Inspector -> Lay Out -> [Choose a main layout type].
Have your grid be the main layout. To do this you would need to remove the grid layout and have your child items arranged exactly how you have them in that picture. Then follow the previous option, right clicking on the top level widget (or the blank background) and choose Lay out -> Grid. This will pop your widgets into a Grid at a best visual fit (which you can then fix if needed), and your grid will be the top level layout.
That grid layout will make placing other widgets quite hard. Try this instead:
Add (from left to right) horizontal spacer and the two buttons.
Multiselect them all.
Select "Lay Out Horizontally" (Ctrl-H) from the Qt Designer's (or Qt Creator's) top toolbar (not from the widget box in the left!).
Add vertical spacer on top of the previous widgets.
Select the main window by clicking it (none of the added widgets are now selected).
Select "Lay Out Vertically" (Ctrl-L) from the top toolbar.
Done.
It seems that you're doing it correctly. Just forgot to apply a layout to your central widget, right? The Grid layout should be arranged in your central widget. The more convenient way is to remove grid layout widget and lay out the central widget in a grid ;-)
I'm trying to make a Flex (Advanced)DataGrid component with some mechanism where the user can toggle the visibility of the columns. I've crudely implemented this by reading in the columns into the right-click menu, and when a column name is selected here, the visibility is toggled. It works, but it's not the most elegant solution.
Specifically, I'm trying to emulate the "datagrid" that Mozilla Thunderbird uses to display emails. Here is an image:
In the upper right, there is an icon over the scroll bar. If there is no scrollbar, the icon remains in the same place. When clicking the icon, it opens up a menu that shows all the possible columns, with the visible ones having a check mark next to them, like this:
Also, the scroll bar always appears under this button, never "pushing" it over into it's own column.
I'd like to re-create this in Flex. I believe the menu part and creating a column with a button headerRenderer is easy enough. But I can't figure out how (if at all possible) to do this with the scrollbar, because the scrollbar always seems to be "its own column". Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you.

One dirty solution comes to mind. Create a component based on Canvas, then add an AdvancedDataGrid by overriding createChildren. Override updateDisplayList as well and add a button like the one in Thunderbird to the upper right of the Canvas. This will cause the button to appear over the DataGrid. Problemo solved?
I am trying to get a left hand like panel bar in my application, one much like the OneNote left hand(notebook) panel.
I have been trying to use a VBox with Buttons and setting the rotation on the buttons to 90. The buttons seem to disappear when I do this.
An example of what I am trying to achieve is here: http://www.rid00z.net/panelBarExample.png
What is the best way to achieve Vertically stacked buttons like this?
try putting all the buttons inside an Hbox and then setting the rotation of the Hbox to 90.
Oh and also make sure you rotate around using a point at the center.
I would create a custom component to do it. I would make each "button" a canvas and display text in it vertically (embedding the font you want to use to do that) - the canvas would have a click event - I would use canvas over a standard Button because it allows more flexibility. In this new component you would have functions to add or delete buttons. I can clarify if it would help.
